Work and energy
• Why it is impossible to build a perpetual motion
machine?
• Why does blood pressure increase when the aorta walls
thicken?
• If Earth were to become a black hole, how big would it
be?

Be sure you know how to:
• Choose a system and the initial and final states
of a physical process (Sections 5.2–5.4).
• Use Newton's second law of motion to analyze a
physical process (Section 3.3).
• Use kinematics to describe motion (Section 1.7).

Where we are headed:
• We have had success analyzing a variety of
phenomena using vector quantities
(acceleration, force, impulse, and momentum).
• When working with vector quantities, we need to
apply the component forms of principles.
• Can we analyze interesting everyday
phenomena using a different type of thinking
that depends less on vector quantities?

Experiments to investigate work and energy
• We begin by conducting experiments and
looking for a pattern.
• We choose a system of interest, its initial state,
its final state, and an external force that causes
the system to change.
• This change involves displacement of one of the
system objects.
• We draw vectors indicating the external force
causing the displacement and the resulting
displacement of the system object.

Gravitational potential energy
• The energy of an
object-Earth system
associated with the
elevation of the object
above Earth is called
gravitational potential
energy (symbol Ug).
• The higher above
Earth the object is,
the greater the
gravitational potential
energy.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Kinetic energy
• The energy due to an object's motion is called
kinetic energy (symbol K).
• The faster the object is moving, the greater its
kinetic energy.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Elastic potential energy
• The energy associated
with an elastic object's
degree of stretch is
called elastic potential
energy (symbol Us).
• The greater the stretch
(or compression), the
greater the object's
elastic potential
energy.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Internal energy
• If a object slides on a surface, the surfaces in contact
can become warmer.
• Structural changes in an object can occur when an
external force is applied.
• The energy associated with both temperature and
structure is called internal energy (symbol Uint).

Patterns found from observational
experiments: Relating work and energy
• When the external force is in the direction of the
object's displacement, it does positive work,
causing the system to gain energy.
• If the external force points in the direction
opposite to a system object's displacement, it
does negative work, causing the system energy
to decrease.
• If the external force points in a direction
perpendicular to a system object's displacement,
it does zero work on the system, causing no
change to its energy.

Defining work as a physical quantity
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Patterns revisited from observational
experiments about work and energy
• In some experiments, force and displacement
were in the same direction: θ = 0° and
cos 0° = +1.0. Positive work was done.
• In other experiments, force and displacement
were in opposite directions: θ = 180° and
cos 180° = –1.0. Negative work was done.
• In one experiment, force and displacement were
perpendicular to each other: θ = 90° and
cos 90° = 0. Zero work was done.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tip
• It is tempting to equate the work done on a
system with the force that is exerted on it.
• In physics, there must be a displacement of a
system object for an external force to do work.
• Force and work are not the same thing.

Quantitative Exercise 6.1: Pushing a bicycle
uphill
• Two friends are cycling up a hill inclined at
8°—steep for bicycle riding. The stronger
cyclist helps his friend up the hill by exerting a
50-N pushing force on his friend's bicycle and
parallel to the hill, while the friend moves a
distance of 100 m up the hill. The force exerted
on the weaker cyclist and the displacement are
in the same direction.
• Determine the work done by the stronger cyclist
on the weaker cyclist.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tip
• The angle that appears in the definition of work
is the angle between the external force and the
displacement of the system object.
• When calculating work, it is useful to draw
tail-to-tail arrows representing the external force
doing the work and the system object
displacement. Then note the angle between the
arrows.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Energy is a conserved quantity
• Work done on a system object by an external
force results in a change of one or more types of
energy in the system: kinetic energy,
gravitational potential energy, elastic potential
energy, or internal energy.
• The energy of a system can also be converted
from one form to another.
– Can this happen when the work done is
zero?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Total energy
• The total energy U of a system is the sum of all
these energies in the system:
• Hypothesis: if no work is done on the system,
the energy of the system should not change; it
should be constant.

Testing experiment: Is the energy of an
isolated system constant?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Testing experiment: Is the energy of an
isolated system constant?
• What can we conclude based on the prediction
and the observed outcome of the testing
experiment?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Reasoning from our experiments
• We have support for a hypothesis that the
energy of an isolated system is constant and the
different processes inside the system convert
energy from one form to another.
• We reason that work is a mechanism through
which the energy of a nonisolated system
changes.
– Based on this reasoning, we can hypothesize
that energy is a conserved quantity—that it is
constant in an isolated system and changes
as a result of work done on a nonisolated
system.

Work-energy bar charts
• A work-energy bar chart indicates the relative
amounts of a system's different types of energy
in the initial state of a process, the work done on
the system by external forces during the
process, and the relative amounts of different
types of energy in the system at the end of the
process.
• The work bar is shaded to emphasize that work
does not reside in the system.

work-energy bar chart
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tip
• In the Skills box for work-energy bar charts, the
system is isolated.
– No work is done on it.
• If we do not include Earth in the system, then
Earth will do negative work on the cart.
– Such a system will not have gravitational
potential energy.

The generalized work-energy principle
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The generalized work-energy principle and
perpetual motion
• A perpetual motion machine is a mechanical
device that continuously and indefinitely does
useful things by transferring energy to the
environment.
• The work-energy equation gives insight as to
why this is impossible: the energy transfer by
negative work causes the system's energy to
decrease.
• The machine cannot continue in motion forever.

Conceptual Exercise 6.2: Pole vaulter
• A pole vaulter crosses a bar high above a
cushion below.
• Construct a sketch and a work-energy bar chart
for two processes:
– The initial state starts at the highest point in
the jump, and the final state is just before the
vaulter reaches the cushion below.
– The initial state starts at the highest point in
the jump, and the final state is at the instant
the jumper sinks into the cushion.

Tip
• The amount of gravitational potential energy in a
system depends on where the origin is placed
on the vertical y-axis.
• This placement is arbitrary.
• The important thing is the change in position and
the corresponding change in gravitational
potential energy.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Choosing what to include in a system
• It is preferable to have a
larger system so that the
changes occurring can be
included as energy
changes within the
system rather than as the
work done by external
forces.
• Even so, often it is best to
exclude something like a
motor from a system
because its energy
changes are complex.

Gravitational potential energy
• A rope lifts a heavy box upward at a constant
negligible velocity. The box is the system.
– The box moves at constant velocity; the
upward tension force of the rope on the box is
equal in magnitude to the downward
gravitational force Earth exerts on the box:
mboxg.
– The rope does work on the box, changing its
vertical position from yi to yf:

Kinetic energy
• The cart is the system. Your hand exerts a force
on the cart while pushing it to the right on a
horizontal frictionless surface.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Kinetic energy
• The equation we found can be put in terms of
properties of the cart using dynamics and
kinematics:
• We find:
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Kinetic energy
• To check whether the unit of kinetic energy is
the joule (J), we use Eq. (6.5) with the units
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Example 6.3: An acorn falls
• You sit on the deck
behind your house.
Several 5-g acorns fall
from the trees high
above, just missing your
chair and head.
• Use the work-energy
equation to estimate how
fast one of these acorns
is moving just before it
reaches the level of your
head.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Quantifying elastic potential energy
• When you stretch or compress an elastic
spring-like object, you have to pull or push
harder as the object is stretched or compressed
more.
– The force is not constant.
• This factor makes it more difficult to find a
mathematical expression for the elastic potential
energy stored by an elastic object when it has
been stretched or compressed.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hooke's law
• Two springs of the
same length—one
less stiff and the other
more stiff—are pulled,
and the magnitude of
the force and the
distance that each
spring stretches from
its unstretched
position are
measured.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hooke's law
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hooke's law
• We can plot our data to find a relationship:
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hooke's law
• The magnitude of the force exerted by the scale
on each spring is proportional to the distance
that each spring stretches:
• From Newton's third law:

Elastic force (Hooke's law)
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Elastic potential energy
• To calculate the work done on the spring by
such a variable force, we can replace this
variable force with the average force:
• Thus the work done by this force on the spring to
stretch it a distance x is:
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Elastic potential energy
• This assumes that the elastic potential energy of
the unstretched spring is zero.

Example 6.4: Shooting an arrow
• You load an arrow (mass = 0.090 kg) into a bow
and pull the bowstring back 0.50 m. The bow
has a spring constant k = 900 N/m.
• Determine the arrow's speed as it leaves the
bow.

Friction and energy conversion
• In nearly every mechanical process, objects
exert friction forces on each other.
• Sometimes the effect of friction is negligible, but
most often friction is important.
• Our next goal is to investigate how we can
incorporate friction into work and energy
concepts.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Can friction force do work?
• Consider a car skidding on a road.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Can friction force do work?
• The kinetic friction force exerted by the road
surface on the car does work on the car and
slows it to a stop.
• The negative work done indicates that the car's
energy is decreasing.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Can friction force do work?
• When a car skids, touching the tires would
reveal that they are warm to the touch. There
would also be black skid marks on the
road—some of the rubber is scraped off the
tires.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Can friction force do work?
– The internal energy of the system increases.
• The change in the kinetic energy of the car
equals the work done by friction.
– We have "extra" energy! There is a
problem with our model.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Can friction force do work?
• Consider a box pulled by a rope across a
horizontal carpet at constant velocity.
• The force of kinetic friction from the carpet on
the box is against the direction of motion, so the
work done is negative; this is balanced by the
positive work done by the rope pulling on the
box.
– The net change in energy should be zero,
yet the surfaces warm up!

Can friction force do work?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The effect of friction as a change in internal
energy
• If we choose the box or car as our system
object, our model does not account for the
change in internal energy.
• If we pick the surface and the box or car as our
system, then the friction force between the
surface and the box or car is internal and does
no work.
• This choice of systems allows us to construct an
expression for the change in internal energy of a
system.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Increase in the system's internal energy due
to friction
• Including friction in the work-energy equation as
an increase in the system's internal energy
produces the same result as calculating the work
done by the friction force.

Example 6.5: Skidding to a stop
• To avoid a collision while driving, you apply the
brakes in your car, leaving 24-m skid marks on
the road while stopping. A police officer
observes the near collision and gives you a
speeding ticket, claiming that you were
exceeding the 35-mph speed limit. She
estimates your car's mass as 1390 kg and the
coefficient of kinetic friction μk between your tires
and this particular road as about 0.70.
• Do you deserve the speeding ticket?

Skills for analyzing processes using the
work-energy principle
• Sketch and translate
– Sketch the initial and
final states of the
process, labeling the
known and unknown
information.
– Choose the system of
interest.
– Include the object of
reference and the
coordinate system.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Skills for analyzing processes using the
work-energy principle
• Simplify and diagram
– Which simplifications can
you make to the objects,
interactions, and processes?
– Decide which energy types
are changing.
– Are external objects doing
work?
– Use the initial and final
sketches to help draw a
work-energy bar chart.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Skills for analyzing processes using the
work-energy principle
• Represent mathematically
– Convert the bar chart into a mathematical
description of the process.
– Each bar in the chart will appear as a single
term in the equation.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Skills for analyzing processes using the
work-energy principle
• Solve and evaluate
– Solve for the unknown and evaluate the
result.
– Does it have the correct units? Is its
magnitude reasonable? Do the limiting cases
make sense?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Example 6.7: The human cannonball again
• To launch a 60-kg human so that he leaves a
cannon moving at a speed of 15 m/s, you need a
spring with an appropriate spring constant. This
spring will be compressed 3.0 m from its natural
length when it is ready to launch the person. The
cannon is oriented at an angle of 37° above the
horizontal.
• Which spring constant should the spring have so
that the cannon functions as desired?

Conceptual Exercise 6.8: Stretching the
aorta
• When your heart beats, the left ventricle pumps
about 80 cm3 of blood into the aorta, the largest
artery. This pumping occurs during a short time
interval, about 0.13 s. The elastic aorta walls
stretch to accommodate the extra blood. During
the next 0.4 s or so, the walls of the aorta
contract, applying pressure on the blood, moving
it out of the aorta into the rest of the circulatory
system.
• Represent this process with a qualitative workenergy bar chart.

Example 6.9: Bungee jumping
• The Oxford team used a 40-m-long bungee cord
that stretched another 35 m when the jumper
was at the very lowest point in the jump. The
jumper's mass is 70 kg. Imagine your job is to
buy a bungee cord that would provide a safe
jump with these specifications.
• Specifically, you need to determine the spring
constant k of the cord to buy.

Analyzing collisions using momentum and
energy principles
• Two important patterns emerge from the data
collected from these different collisions.
– The momentum of the system is constant in
all three experiments.
– The kinetic energy of the system is constant
when no damage is done to the system
objects during the collision (this condition
holds for experiment 1 but not for
experiments 2 and 3).
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Analyzing collisions using momentum and
energy principles
• With data, we can determine the amount of
kinetic energy converted to internal energy for
collisions that result in deformation.
– It is impossible to predict this value ahead
of time!
• In collisions where any deformation of the
system objects occurs, we cannot make
predictions about the amount of kinetic energy
converted to internal energy.
– Even in collisions where the system objects
become damaged, the momentum of the
system remains constant.

Types of collisions

Example 6.10: A ballistic pendulum
• A gun is several centimeters from a 1.0-kg wooden block
hanging at the end of strings. The gun fires a 10-g bullet
that becomes embedded in the block, which swings
upward a height of 0.20 m.
• Determine the speed of the bullet when it leaves the gun.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Power
• Why is it more difficult for the same person to
run up a flight of stairs than to walk if the change
in gravitational potential energy of the personEarth system is the same in both scenarios?
– The amount of internal energy converted into
gravitational energy is the same in both
cases, but the rate of that conversion is not.
– When you run upstairs, you convert the
energy at a faster rate.
– The rate at which the conversion occurs is
called the power.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Power
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Power
• Power is sometimes expressed in horsepower
(hp): 1 hp = 746 W.
• Horsepower is most often used to describe the
power rating of engines or other machines.
– A 50-hp gasoline engine (typical in cars)
converts the internal energy of the fuel into
other forms of energy at a rate of 50 x 746 W
= 37,300 W, or 37.30 J/s.

Example 6.11: Lifting weights
• Xueli is doing a dead lift. She lifts a 13.6-kg
(30-lb) barbell from the floor to just below her
waist (a vertical distance of 0.70 m) in 0.80 s.
• Determine the power during the lift.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Improving our model of gravitational
potential energy
• We have an expression for the gravitational
potential energy of an object-Earth system:
Ug = mgy.
– This expression is valid only when an object
is close to Earth's surface.
• The gravitational force exerted by planetary
objects on moons and satellites and by the Sun
on planets has the form:
– Can we find a more general expression for
gravitational potential energy change?

Gravitational potential energy for large
mass separations
• Imagine a "space elevator" that transports
supplies from the surface of Earth to the
International Space Station.
– The elevator moves at constant velocity,
except for a very brief acceleration and
deceleration at the beginning and end of the
trip.
• Knowing the expression for the gravitational
force and calculus allows us to write:

Gravitational potential energy for large
mass separations (Cont'd)

Gravitational potential energy of a system
consisting of Earth and any object
• We can use Eq. (6.11) to find the gravitational
potential energy for any two spherical or pointlike objects.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gravitational potential energy and negative
energy
• The gravitational potential energy is zero when the
objects are an infinite distance apart.
– The only way to add positive energy to a system and
have it become zero is if it starts with negative
energy.
– The gravitational potential energy is therefore
negative when the objects are closer together.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Escape speed
• Escape speed is the minimum speed an object
needs to jump up and never come back down.
– For example, if we want to launch a
spacecraft to explore far planets in the solar
system, we do not want the spacecraft to fall
back to Earth or start orbiting Earth.
• The minimum speed means the object will just
barely manage to "escape"; this indicates that
the object has no energy in the final state.
– If energy was not zero in the final state, the
object could have escaped at a slower speed.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Tip
• The escape speed does not depend on the
mass of the escaping object: a tiny speck of dust
and a huge boulder would need the same initial
speed to leave Earth.
• Why is that?
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Black holes
• The equation found in the previous example for
escape speed suggests something amazing:
– If the mass of the star or planet were large
enough or its radius small enough, the
escape speed could be very large.
– If the star's escape speed were faster than
the speed of light, light leaving the star's
surface would not be moving fast enough to
escape; the star would be completely dark.

Quantitative Exercise 6.14: The Sun as a
black hole
• How small would our Sun need to be for it to
become a black hole?
